Good news!: I saw the tiniest, most adorable daffodils in the world on my way to the train. Spring is here!
Bad news: By the time I got off the train it was snowing…SNOWING! Spring is an a–hole.
Worse news: In between daffodils and snow, I ran into a friend from the neighborhood and gave him a huge, cheery hello. Like big, “Well, hellooooooooooo!!” Except it wasn’t my friend. It was a total Stranger Doppelganger Android sent out from the Sarah Mortification factory to destroy my life first thing in the morning. I chose to keep walking, leaving the SDA to think he just met the friendliest person in Queens
The Worst: I sprinted up the subway stairs, hoping to leave my new best friend stranger in the dust. But my escape screeched to a halt when I had to stop and purchase a new Metrocard. When the SDA walked past me I gave him another “hi!”-not quite as huge, but still way too familiar. I’m pretty sure he now thinks I’m the craziest person in Queens.
April snow showers bring Stranger Doppelganger Sarah mortification powers.

It’s OK for me to laugh, right? Like, I’m laughing with you, not at you. Because surely by now you’re laughing. Because this is pretty hilarious.

Oh god, yes! If it’s made it to the blog, it means I have worked through feelings of shame and anger in a thoughtful way.

I’ll bet you made the guy’s day. Who wouldn’t want to be hugged by you??? And besides, you probably gave him a great story for HIS blog!
Have you checked Craigslist’s “missed connections”? SDA’s probably still thinking about you!
